Chapter 677
: shenshuzw
Originally, the Xia Di wanted to reveal his identity and scold the Ministry of Justice officials, but the words reached his lips and he couldn't shout them out no matter what.
It was the first time he had heard that a prince rebelling would involve the nine clans. No wonder the Ministry of Justice officials wanted to drive Lu Yang away. This was not wrong at all.
The Fourth Prince stared at Lu Yang, trying to find the meaning of a joke in it.
However, the Decayed Fairy had no reaction. What she just said was her true thought.
The Fourth Prince was angered into laughter: "Lu Yang, let me tell you, don't play smart. When we were discussing in the courtyard just now, you were the first one to propose rebellion. If you report me, you won't be able to run away either!"
The Decayed Fairy was very strange and couldn't understand the Fourth Prince's brain: "How is it that I was the first to propose rebellion? Didn't you gather all the people who rebelled? This shows that you are prepared to rebel, and I am just following your train of thought."
The Fourth Prince carefully recalled what happened in the courtyard and suddenly realized that Lu Yang had not substantially participated in the rebellion plan from beginning to end!
This neither belongs to being an accomplice nor does it belong to abetting. This is innocent!
No, there is still a turning point.
"These are just your one-sided words, there is no evidence!"
Yes, for such a major event as rebellion, it is impossible to convict based on verbal evidence alone, not to mention that from beginning to end, only Lu Yang said he was plotting rebellion.
The brothers who plotted the major event in the courtyard all had life-and-death friendships with the Fourth Prince and were deeply righteous, so it was absolutely impossible for them to betray him!
"Ah, don't you have a shadow-recording ball? I saw you started recording from the moment I entered your house. Isn't it for use as evidence now?"
In the Decayed Fairy's eyes, the Fourth Prince's thoughts were the same as hers. The Fourth Prince intended to rebel in order to kill his three brothers, thereby exterminating the nine clans, and everyone would perish together.
It is probably that the Fourth Prince couldn't make up his mind to report himself, so he sought her help to invite her to his house as a guest, discuss rebellion in front of her, and save the evidence with a shadow-recording ball.
She also came to the Ministry of Justice to report as the Fourth Prince wished.
The only two problems are that the Ministry of Justice seems unwilling to intervene in this matter, and the Fourth Prince wants to turn against her on the spot.
It's really troublesome.
The Fourth Prince's look at Lu Yang changed again, becoming fearful, terrified, and trembling.
Just in the time of being a guest, Lu Yang had calculated him to death. He started acting from the moment he entered the door, pretending to reveal his heart and cooperate, making him show his trump card, and even calculated that he would use a shadow-recording ball for threats, turning the tables and turning the threat-using shadow-recording ball into evidence of rebellion!
This level of scheming is even more terrifying than what was revealed in the Second Brother's mansion!
It's ridiculous that he still wanted to tie Lu Yang to his boat. Is he worthy of calculating Lu Yang? Let's survive this disaster first!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Fourth Prince turned and ran, but how could the Decayed Fairy let him escape?
The Fourth Prince's Spirit Transformation stage cultivation was no different from a mortal in front of the Decayed Fairy. She controlled Lu Yang's body, grabbed the Fourth Prince's wrist, and threw him to the ground, making the Fourth Prince see stars and feel dizzy, and the ground sank into a large pit.
The Decayed Fairy also took the opportunity to snatch the Fourth Prince's storage ring, which contained the shadow-recording ball.
The one-sided fight between the Decayed Fairy and the Fourth Prince caused a great commotion, attracting the attention of the Ministry of Justice's Vice Minister, who rushed over to see what had happened.
Who dares to take action at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice? Do they think the Ministry of Justice is easy to bully?
"Eh, has the person in charge come?"
Lu Yang told him that judging by the clothes the visitor was wearing, this was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, a fourth-rank official.
The fourth rank is a big official; the Minister of Justice is only the third rank.
"You came just in time. Didn't I just catch someone intending to rebel? I came to report the case. The shadow-recording ball is in his storage ring, and the people on your side refused to file the case."
The officials didn't recognize the Fourth Prince, but could the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice not recognize him? He saw the Fourth Prince pressed to the ground by Lu Yang and was so scared that his body trembled.
Who? The Fourth Prince is rebelling?
He had been working in the Ministry of Justice for hundreds of years, and it was the first time he had heard of someone coming to the Ministry of Justice to report a prince for rebellion.
Is this something our Ministry of Justice can handle?
"Ah, don't you care about rebellion?" The Decayed Fairy asked, scaring the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice into a cold sweat.
"Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean the Ministry of Justice doesn't care about rebellion? If this spreads out, people who don't know will think our Ministry of Justice is also going to rebel."
"Since you can't make a decision, let the person who can make a decision come out." Seeing that the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice was still struggling, the Xia Di reminded from the side.
He knew his son's character best. His good son was probably really wanting to rebel, and this matter must have a result!
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice was struggling. Hearing the Xia Di's reminder, he suddenly realized. That's right, why am I worried about this? It's not like I don't have anyone above me.
Thinking of this, he immediately went in to find the Minister of Justice, Xu Xin.
At this time, Xu Xin had just finished a short seclusion and came out to change his mood.
Before he could relax, he heard his subordinate report the work.
"Lu Yang came to us to report the Fourth Prince for rebellion?!"
He wouldn't even dare to act out such nonsense when he was undergoing the Heart Demon Tribulation.
But the problem is, this is not a Heart Demon Tribulation, but something happening before his eyes!
Xu Xin covered his head in pain. After Venerable Wuyu finished torturing him, was it his little disciple's turn?
This little disciple's ability to cause trouble is much stronger than Venerable Wuyu's back then.
"Accept it. Since they have already come to us to complain, it's not appropriate not to accept it."
According to his understanding of Lu Yang, although this kid can cause trouble, he doesn't seem to tell lies.
The Ministry of Justice rarely prepared to hold a trial to handle the case.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice came to the entrance of the Ministry of Justice and respectfully invited the Decayed Fairy in, fearing that this little ancestor would cause some more trouble, such as reporting the Second Prince for rebellion or something.
"And you come in too. You heard the conversation between me and the Fourth of the Jiang family just now, right? You count as a witness." The Decayed Fairy also pulled the Xia Di in.
"By the way, what was your name again?"
Before leaving the palace, the Xia Di had already thought of a title. The Jiang family fabricated fake names for the outside world and had always liked to use "Xia" as their surname, and he was the noble Son of Heaven, so the name was obvious.
"Xia Tian."
He had already created a complete set of fake identities and was not afraid of the Ministry of Justice verifying his identity.
The Ministry of Justice held a trial.
Based on his trust in Lu Yang, Xu Xin personally broke the restriction on the Fourth Prince's storage ring and took out the shadow-recording ball placed inside.
In the shadow-recording ball, the Fourth Prince introduced with high spirits how extraordinary his brothers were, and recounted how he would kill his three brothers one by one, making the Xia Di, who was testifying on the side, turn blue with anger.
The evidence is conclusive.
Xu Xin exhaled. It was really the same as Lu Yang described. The Fourth Prince intended to rebel. This is a major crime.
"Come here, throw the Fourth Prince into the dungeon!"
"Xu Xin, you dare!" The Fourth Prince was anxious. If he were thrown into the dungeon, there would be no turning point!
How could Xu Xin care about the Fourth Prince's clamor? When he was an official, your father hadn't even been born yet. You are nothing. He waved his hand impatiently and ordered people to throw the Fourth Prince down.
"Lu Yang, don't worry. A prince breaking the law is the same as a commoner. This matter will definitely receive a fair trial." Xu Xin said to Lu Yang with a pleasant countenance, wanting to hint to Lu Yang not to cause trouble anymore. Our Ministry of Justice is a small place and can't stand the tossing.
"Then can the nine clans be exterminated?" The Decayed Fairy was most concerned about this.
Xu Xin: "..."
Seeing that Xu Xin didn't answer, the Decayed Fairy turned to ask the Xia Di.
"You say, can the nine clans be exterminated? If not, exterminating the three clans is fine too."
Xia Di: "..."
You wanted to hit me in the imperial palace back then but didn't succeed, and now you want to kill me directly, right?
